Dissociative Disorders (DID) Therapists in Washington, DC
When I see a new patient for the first time, I try to assess what he or she wants from life or from what each person is struggling. I do this with individuals or parents so together so we can determine what is best for him or her or their child at the current time. Sometimes people want to work on one problem and then develop a curiosity about how their minds work. Often in those situations, I work more intensely and more frequency to search for what is meaning to people and how they wants to navigate in the world in a freer way.

My ideal client(s) are those struggling with both trauma and relationships. Trauma can profoundly impact how we relate to others. I am especially interested in people who struggle with attachment issues in relationships. The ideal client is receptive to change, can take ownership of their life, and has the capacity for self-reflection. I also work with clients interested in exploring spiritual matters in whatever form. I have extensive training in esoteric practices, such as archetypal astrology and tarot.

Anxiety? Depression? Stress? Life Changes? With over thirty years of experience in private practice, I have noticed how sometimes long-standing behaviors can actually create personal problems, cause relationship difficulties, and undermine the achievement of life goals. Working together, we can explore and identify these behaviors and change them. Individual Therapy helps to build confidence as you begin to understand and take steps to modify personal challenges. Couples Therapy identifies and builds upon personal and relationships strengths to repair interpersonal distress. Group Psychotherapy enhances and deepens personal awareness so you improve your connections with others.

Struggles with self-esteem, body image, or self-worth often originate from unresolved early issues. By addressing these root causes, we can alleviate the burdens individuals carry and guide them towards effective solutions. Exploring these origins is crucial for developing a treatment plan that helps individuals release negativity and embrace positivity. Open communication between client and therapist is essential for tailoring the best alternative plans to meet the client's needs.

If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or relationship issues, it is important to find a therapist with whom you feel safe and comfortable....a good fit for you. I have been in practice for over 30 years with an emphasis on early trauma and its effects on daily living. However, life can throw out curveballs and may have nothing to do with earlier childhood experiences. My approach is to get to the problem, agree on the goals, and work collaboratively to live in the solution. I focus on the “here and now” and welcome feedback along the way, positive and negative!

I connect deeply and empathically with my clients, and challenge them towards greater self-awareness that leads to happiness and peace of mind internally and within relationships. Individuals and couples inevitably reach periods of frustration and conflict that signal the need for change. Whether these problems are grounded in past loss or current misfortune, outside intervention can offer immediate relief. I specialize in treating mood disorders, couples in gridlock, and adult children with a legacy of trauma, neglect or codependency. Working with adults and couples, I approach difficulties compassionately and non-pathologically. Psychotherapy helps restore emotional balance and well-being.

The people I work with cycle between trying to live up to their own or others' expectations, and then cope in self-defeating (or self-destructive) ways when they inevitably don't measure up. They avoid, lash out, and withdraw. They misuse substances, food, and their bodies. They get stuck; they get waylaid from their goals; and they get into trouble with their health, finances, relationships, and jobs. Anxiety, depression, and addictions take center stage, as their lives get further and further away from the life they wanted for themselves. If this is you, I can help.

I specialize in the treatment of unresolved trauma and difficult life experiences. But I also believe therapy is a comfortable space to get to know yourself better—and a vehicle for hope, whether you are in acute crisis, or simply feeling stuck. Through an integrative approach, I help you identify patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that may have begun early in life and continue to affect your relationships or your work.
